I-10 from Baton Rouge to New Orleans

[FloridaGators]

Does anyone know if I-10 is completely open eastbound to the port???

We will be driving that way on Sunday. Any info would be appreciated.:)

According to the LA DOTD website, I-10 is closed at exit 182 and 210 due to flooding.

I heard on the radio today it is expected to open soon, you should be good by Sunday as the water is draining now.

 

check out nola.com for info

Its open-no problems with I-10 now. You just might want to check to make sure the ship makes it up the mississippi river to the port timely. Elation was a day late.

I will be going in the opposite direction tomorrow. I'm still not sure if it is open all the way, but it should be by Sunday. An alternate route would be to take I-12 @ Baton Rouge to I-55 and then down to I-10 again.

 

Lots of on and off ramps are still closed so I would fill up at Baton Rouge. You might not be able to find anything after.

Thanks for the post and the responses. I have been meaning to look this information up. I will be heading that way on Monday. I definitely do not want anything to delay getting a DOD in my hand!

my neice and nephew made the 5 hour trip today from fort polk to NOLA in only 10 1/2 hours. through floods and closures. but they are now on the elation.:rolleyes:

I=10 is finally open all the way, in both directions, from New Orleans to Baton Rouge. I just drove it. Some exits and on ramps are still closed.

 

You can drive all the way to the port, but if you go ightseeing, you can still run into traffic lights that aren't working.

 

I saw a zillion bucket trucks and others headed for New Orleans (or other parts), so it looks like reinforcements are arriving and things should get better quickly
